>I've poked around a few of the DLLs since I saw this and am unable to find anything even remotely close to what this does.

This is part of the Valve anticheat system. I believe that the idea is that this sort of code is downloaded on the fly by the game client to make it harder to reverse engineer by game cheaters. What you have to do is to find some way of dumping the code that VAC pulls from the steam servers, and of course Valve tries to make that difficult for legit reasons (regardless of whether this particular snippet of code is legit).
